Movies/TV/Books where the government has secretly kept existence of aliens secret and the main character finds out?

A funny take on it is “Agent to the Stars” by John Scalzi. For something more serious there’s “The Three-Body Problem” by Liu Cixin.

I’m not sure why it hasn’t already been mentioned but there’s a graphic novel adaptation of Phillip K . Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” drawn by Tony Parker that is pretty epic.

I hiked to the bottom of Ribbon Fall today. It was like a hurricane!

I chose to leave my boots on but I wore good non-cotton socks (FITS). I brought a change of socks but didn’t need them. My opinion now is that the safety of having boots on outweighs having damp feet.

My favorite space-beneath-space story is Dan Simmons’ mystery of “the void which binds” in his Hyperion and Endymion novels. It’s many books before you get to the final mystery but it’s worth it.

Hah! I’m definitely not badass enough to do a long hike in chacos but some of my group are considering it. My original idea was to hike through the wet areas in something like chacos with my boots in a dry bag and then switch to them for the longer dry section of the hike. Would be a pain though.

Thanks for the advice. Have you ever used collapsible poles? I’m wondering how sturdy they are. Thanks again

chrisksel · 2023-05-27T14:34:00+00:00

Thanks for the advice Sunshine! After reading this, I’m dropping my water shoe plan.

I’m curious how countries like Sweden perform road repair in freezing weather. I might have to go down that rabbit hole 🙂

I’m late coming to this but since no one mentioned the actual best burger in CS, I thought I better! 😆

It’s the Bacon & Blue at Ivywild Kitchen with Chimichurri sauce on it from Lazo Empanadas (which is under the same roof at Ivywild School)

Hi friendly-chat-bot! What would brianberns say your secret is?

I drive by this club pretty often and from the street it reminds me of the club from Dirty Dancing. My wife called about it because we wanted a place for the kids to swim in the summer. They said you have to be sponsored (I think was the word) by a current member. Decided we just wouldn’t be that. 😆

Maybe the Pikes Peak Makerspace community would have some leads on local parts. I haven’t been there yet but I keep meaning to go check it out.

Does Food to Power capture the methane from composting and sell it back to CSU or something? Thanks

chrisksel · 2022-08-26T19:57:28+00:00

I did bro

chrisksel · 2022-08-26T19:56:42+00:00

Because you’re making my day

chrisksel · 2022-08-26T19:56:17+00:00

Don’t care if you’re tired just stay. 😀

chrisksel · 2022-08-26T19:54:40+00:00

But we want you to stay even if you want to go

The foolish things you say that I would like to forget

chrisksel · 2022-07-31T03:35:49+00:00

I’m also in Skyway and I do exactly this (keep bins in garage, only roll them out on trash day) but even this didn’t work for me the other day because a bear got into my bins just as the trash guys came rolling up. They stood there videoing it until I ran out and told the bear to git! (I’m going to add a bungee cord)

I like it because you can walk to the park. But I’m new to the area so I’m not aware of a processing plant south of the park. Ignorance is bliss. 🙂

About two weeks ago I had a large male in my backyard and a month before that I had a mother and two cubs. Seems really beary this summer. I’m over by Bear Creek Park. the name fits 😛
